Summary

Owned by the same family for four generations, this four bedroomed detached country residence has been greatly enhanced and improved from its origins as a period stone cottage dating from the 1700’s. Through the sympathetic addition of a substantial extension to the original cottage, this enlarged property has been designed to fit beautifully into its surroundings with a careful nod towards its history, original features and environment, culminating in the creation of an attractive and desirable family home. There is a harmonious flow around this property with connected yet separate spaces providing freedom for a family to enjoy both inside and out with about a 1/3rd of an acre surrounding this home to include an orchard, lawned gardens, several outdoor entertaining areas, and outbuildings to occupy the most hobby-mad buyers.

Entered through a distinctive door, there are two large reception rooms to either side of the kitchen, both hosting fireplaces and enjoying access into the gardens. Around this family home there are original and newly blended contemporary features including ceiling beams, oak lintels, and stone sills under the window frames. In addition to the reception spaces there is a study, utility/boot room and importantly for flexibility, a contemporary ground floor shower room. There are two staircases to the first floor, with a stone Monmouthshire staircase leading up to the principal bedroom which has an impressive A frame vaulted ceiling and exposed stone walling. The three other bedrooms are accessed via a central landing with bedroom three also having an A frame vaulted ceiling and doors onto both the landing and into bedroom one. The bedrooms are served by a modern white family suite.

As expected in a modern home, this property has double glazed windows, electric underfloor heating in the kitchen, lots of storage including eaves storage cupboards and full fibre broadband available in the area, according to Ofgem.

Location Summary

This family home is situated in an idyllic rural setting in the Monmouthshire village of Llanover, in the beautiful Vale of Usk, approximately 5 miles from the historic market town of Abergavenny and within easy road access to the larger shopping centre and town of Cwmbran, some 9 miles to the south. Just along the village lane is the newly renovated Goytre Wharf on the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal with its café and boat hire making it a real draw for those who like being outdoors. The local pub is the Goose & Cuckoo which hails itself as a dog friendly country pub with traditional food. The town of Abergavenny offers the best of both worlds with magnificent scenery and a delightful rural environment combined with excellent road communications and a mainline railway station which make it very accessible and within commuting distance of many major cities. The village itself lies only a short distance from the A4042, A40 and A465 link roads which in turn provide excellent road access to the motorway network of the M4 and M5. Abergavenny railway station has regular services into central London via Newport, and to the north via Crewe.

Abergavenny boasts a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, including a wide selection of boutique style shops, grocery and newsagent stores, supermarkets and many well-known high street shops. Abergavenny also hosts a market several times a week. The town has its own cinema and leisure centre as well as several restaurants for evening entertainment. There is a golf course, cricket club, tennis club, bowls and public leisure centre with swimming pool. The area is well served by schools for all ages with private schooling available in the greater area. Outdoor pursuits are widely available, with pony trekking, hiking, fishing, sailing, cycling hang gliding, mountain walks and canoeing along the Brecon to Monmouthshire canal all close-by.
